Philip Mataverde, DO

Medicine was a calling for Dr Richens, as it was for many others in his family. Because of his family ties to medicine, he was able to draw from their experiences which led to his decision to pursue his medical degree. Dr Richens chose sleep medicine when he witnessed so many of his patients’ lives improve when they were better rested. Though he provides care for a wide range of sleep needs, he has a special interest in sleep-disordered breathing. Dr Richens says that sleep is essential to all health, which is why he is passionate about helping his patients receive better rest and enjoys watching them return to their former selves. Dr Richens enjoys spending time outside with his family as much as possible.

The most important thing to me when it comes to providing quality care is to make sure that every patient is treated with dignity and respect. We all deserve to feel heard. This is why I emphasize good communication with my patients. I want them to ask me questions and be engaged in their care so that together we can reach the best possible outcomes.
